It was amazing the only thing that we did differently was we added a packet of dry onion soup mix. The flavor was incredidable.

Like many other reviewers, I thought that this was just a base for onion soup. I had to modify it greatly. So, I have to rate it as written but these are my modifications. I used 3 onions; sliced as half moons, 2-2 1/2 tbsp butter, 2 cups beef broth and about 1/4 cup water, apple cider vinegar(because I didn't have wine or sherry), about 1/2 tea dried oregano. I simmered all this until the onions were soft and the flavors melded. I cider vinegar tasted strange at first. When I baked the dish with the bread and cheese (Swiss mixed with Gruyere) the finished product came out great. It ended up tasting like a real French Onion soup. Thank you for giving me something to start with. I will make this again with my variations.

This is simple, cheap, and has an amazing taste. I used red onions and provolone in my version and didn't have to add any extra flavoring. Cheers to Debbie!

Very easy and good! I changed the recipe a little by adding Worcestershire Sauce and fresh thyme.

I used gruyere, organic veggie broth and added some thyme. The veggie broth required extra salt to make it as tasty as beef broth.

It was my first time making french onion soup and I think I got the idea. It was okay. I had it with a pastrami on rye. Good pairing. I made it just like the recipe but added in variation more worchestershire sauce, thyme, parsley, garlc, and white wine.

My boyfriend and I use this recipe every time we make French Onion Soup. The only thing we change is we use Chicken broth instead of Beef broth.

This recipe is missing something, and I think it's WORCHESTER SAUCE. I made it: - once as is (very bland); - second time adding white wine, thyme, and worchester sauce (good to very good); - third time adding leeks with the onions and worchester (out of white wine and forgot about the thyme (great).

Yum. I actually did use only 2 onions, and this made exactly enough for two adults and one 5-year-old. I cut the bread into cubes to make it easier to eat. Also subbed some of the broth for some au jus I had leftover. I wish I would have added more water though; it was a bit too salty. No fault to the recipe submitter though! I added a clove of garlic, and once the onions and garlic were soft I turned the heat up to brown everything. Nice and filling too, this was one of the easier French Onion Soup recipes I have tried, thanks for the recipe!

Yummy! My husband said he'd never even had it before, and LOVED it! As good as, if not better than, a restaurant french onion soup. I don't feel it needs any changes, but I did add a few seasonings as suggested by other reviewers. I also used more broth and less water. I will definitely be making this one again and again!

I made this with low sodium beef stock and it was great. We did have to add extra salt, but usually although I like French Onion Soup, I can't eat too much because of the saltiness. I can't wait to make it again. We had it with our steak dinner one night and with loaded baked potatoes another night. It felt like we were eating out.

First time I've made Fr. Onion soup. Turned out great. Few things I modified: added only 1/2 cup of water, used Swanson's beef broth carton, mozzarella instead of swiss, parmesan as an option. Good basis will build on the recipe later.

This is the best French onion soup my hubby and I have ever had. What's even better was how simple it was! I used slices of toasted Italian bread covered with garlic in the soup, and used a shredded "Italian cheese blend" instead of swiss. It was fantastic, and I will definitely make it again!
